Problem
Conventional fracture surgery relies on 2D radiographic imaging, making accurate 3D correction difficult and potentially exposing medical staff and patients to excessive radiation. Manual fracture reduction can also be time-consuming and may result in suboptimal alignment, leading to increased patient recovery times and potential complications.
Solution
AIRS develops robotic systems for orthopedic surgery, including a fracture reduction robot that integrates a hexapod-type actuator connected to fixing pins inserted into bone fragments. This system allows for precise, motor-operated adjustment of bone fragments, enabling accurate fracture reduction with minimal invasiveness. By utilizing 3D navigation and AI-driven image analysis, the system reduces the need for extensive radiographic imaging, thereby minimizing radiation exposure. The system aims to improve reduction accuracy, shorten operation times, and reduce the number of personnel required during surgery.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes orthopedic surgeons and hospitals seeking to improve the accuracy and efficiency of fracture surgeries while minimizing radiation exposure for both patients and medical staff.
